Wavecrest - woodies, woodies and a few hotrods

The wife and I flew down to So Cal to attend Wavecrest in the town of Encinitas. For those not aware, this is the largest gathering of woodies in the world. The town is overrun with wood. Thursday kicked off with a Cruise called Rods and Woodies downtown. Some nice rides show up and the woodies were out early. Found a small bar downtown flying the UW flag (my college) so we spent some time in there drinking beer in the window and watching cars.

For Friday I had planned to attend a cruise night in Escondito called Cruisin Grand. It was hot, about 108.. maybe that impacted the cruise as not much cruisin and the number of cars was light.

Saturday was Wavecrest. Weather was perfect and the turnout was great. Ran into a friend from SC and our own Sawzall (jeff). by the end of the day (hope he will add some of his pictures to this post or his own)

Links to all of my pictures of the three events are below

Great pictures! Thanks.
So... you're going to keep the Dodge, right?

 

Best pile of wood I've ever seen! Thanks

 

Ken,,Great photos as always but that what we have come to expect from you.

I noticed the two Dodge woodies,have you done anything with yours? HRP

 

Ken, great to visit with you and the wife!
I think half the worlds supply of dodge woodies were at the show
Ill put up some pics after i recover

 

Great shots. Can never see enough Woodies.

 

Nice cars. Thanks... Now I'm sportin' one...

 

That Green Merc woodie with 4 wheel drive is awesome! At least it looks like 4 wheel drive???

 

thanks for the pics. some really beautiful cars there. i gotta find me a ford sportsman one day

 

that is sweet!!

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

 

Boones... Thanks for posting I wanted to make this one but family stuff got in the way (new grand Baby) Looks like every Dodge woodie on the planet was there...Thanks again..

 

Yep.

Should be a NAPCO conversion?

 

Ken, did the 75k asking on that 4x Dodge get your heart a pumpin'?

 

Yep figured it would be a Napco on the Merc. Looks great!

 

Can anybody identify this one for me please, I'm fascinated by woodies, they are very, rare in the UK apart from the Morris Minor.

 

Great pics! Would love to go to this show someday.

 

Looks like post war Pontiac.

 

Yes that was a pontiac (1946?). Sawzall will probably know the exact year.

 

the green merc is a very rare marmon harrington 4x4 conv.

It's a 46 and the contingent from our chapter nominated it for the "survivor" award..

 

Now those are some fine images. I have had that event on my must do list for several years. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Appreciated!!
